Welcome!
Welcome to the Cookin’ Crew! Formed in 2023 when Yeah-I-Do and Bottoms Up Cookers joined forces, we’re now the ultimate party and cook-off tent at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. With over 30 years of experience, we specialize in Texas-style Bar-B-Que, going head-to-head with top competitors in Houston and Memphis. Thanks to our generous donors, we compete at the highest level, impressing judges year after year. Our consistent cooking area at HLSR allows us to entertain VIP guests in style. Join us for the full Cookin’ Crew experience—our mission is to fundraise for worthy causes while delivering exceptional food, presentation, and old-fashioned fun. Plus, we donate our winnings back to support the event!
We are now a 503c both operating under the name Cooking Crew Inc.
